Stand-Up #93 - May 10th, 2020

Stand-Up #93 - May 10th, 2020

Ended up making some tweaks to the billing process. I realized that I forgot one of the billing requirements to be listed in the shopify app store.

Yesterday's progress:

  • Finish porting over the JSON schema, it's definitely more verbose than the Mongoose schemas

Today's progress:

  • Tweaks to billing process. I realized that I forgot one of the billing requirements to be listed in the shopify app store.

Tomorrow's progress:

  • Script injection into user's site using the shopify api

No screenshot today. The tweaks I had to make were in a piece of code that had my API key/secret and I'm not revealing that to you all lol.

    nice what's your app? I have a shopify store

    1. 1

      Attempting to make a countdown that gets injected on the product pages with a WYSIWYG editor in the admin panel for the guys and gals that don't know how to code but use shopify. I've built marketing tools (scarcity/urgency/FOMO etc.) like this before for clients when I ran my own small web dev agency, so I know that they actually do increase conversion. But I've never built an app for myself before - I was always simply tweaking existing sites of clients or adding some functionality. There's quite a few of these countdowns already on the shopify app store, so I figured that means the demand exists. It won't be a killer app, but it's teaching me the ropes of working with the platform, and hopefully then I can make a more "creative" app later after I get the hang of it.

      EDIT: I saw your store. Looks very nice!

        nice. Thanks for stopping by! I think countdown timers are good, there's some creative ways to use them now. Good luck!
